    I'm getting fed up with QT. Dimbleby can't keep the panel or the audience in order. It's now OK to boo and heckle right wing politicians, but not left wing.

    I don't care what the man on the Clapham Omnibus thinks. I can get those views without turning the TV on.

    Bring back Robin Day. He would be a far more effective chairman than Dimbebore - even though he has been dead for 18 years.

    I was in the audience for a QT in the recent past, and he actually encourages the audience to clap, and show disapproval at what someone has said - so it's not lack of control, it's encouraged.
    Despite my name, I'm not a student any more

    Shows how tame the audience is, the ability of this show to actually influence people probably ended about 15 years ago.
